Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X TRI-X OC Review

Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X TRI-X OC Testing:

This third installment of the Crysis franchise, developed by Crytek and distributed by Electronic Arts, uses the CryEngine 3 game engine and requires a DirectX 11 ready video card and operating system due to its demanding graphics engine.

Settings:

1x SMAA

Texture Resolution = Very High

System Spec = High

FCAT Results:

1920x1080 5760x1080

1920x1080 5760x1080

At both 1920x1080 and 5760x1080, the Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X TRI-X OC delivers slightly more FPS than the GTX 770 and falls between the ASUS card and the Toxic Edition. Again there is nothing out of the ordinary when looking at the FCAT results, with the variance curve starting to creep up at the 95th percentile.
